grub in my sid system broken
Hi, On my sid system grub stops with a simple grub prompt and I have enter the commands manually. I may have missed something with recent (last few months) changes to grub. The grub man pages I have give only the brief parameter explanations but not enough information to make sense of this. The following error may or may not be related since I had not problem booting from this kernel which is what I am running right now Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install.
